An encounter between security forces and terrorists was underway in Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar on Saturday. The gunfight broke out in the Khanyar area of the summer capital.
A cordon and search operation was launched after security forces in the area received information about the presence of terrorists in the vicinity.
Later, the search operation turned into an encounter after the terrorists fired upon a search party of the forces, who retaliated, news agency PTI reported.
“Police and security forces are on the job,” the Kashmir Zone Police tweeted.
An exchange of fire was underway.
On October 29, security forces gunned down two terrorists holed up in a forest area near a village in the Akhnoor sector in Jammu and Kashmir.
Terming the operation “successful”, General Officer Commanding of the 10 Infantry Division Maj Gen Sameer Srivastava said the terrorists had come for a “major strike”. “We were ready as we were getting information continuously. They were encircled in an area and we used technology for surveillance, including unmanned aerial vehicles and artificial intelligence,” he added.
Maj Gen Srivastava said the terrorists had moved into the area from the hinterland intending to target a security convoy but swift action thwarted their conspiracy.
